The "Desperate Housewives" star split from her ex-husband last year after she allegedly found text messages from another woman on his phone. Longoria told DeGeneres she doesn't speak to Parker anymore.

"Being a woman, I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man, or through a marriage," Longoria said. "[Women are] socially constructed that way, to just be inferior or subservient, and you don't have to be."
